CAVES SEARCH METHOD
(work experience of Leningrad speleologists)
Of the 20 expeditions conducted in the Arkhangelsk region by the Leningrad Section of Speleology (LSS) from 1966 to 1974, 12 expeditions were exploratory, i.e. those whose main task was to search for previously unknown cavities and plot the discovered entrances to the caves on a topographic map.
Summarizing the experience of the LSS search expeditions in the Pinezhsky region, we can draw a number of useful conclusions about the features of these expeditions, about the most likely locations of the entrances to the Pinezhya caves, about the signs indicating the possibility of an entrance to an underground cavity in this place.
The main karsting rocks of Pinezhye are gypsum and anhydrite, they contain all the caves found in this area. Therefore, it is natural that the first condition for planning an active search for underground cavities in a particular area of the surface was the presence in this place of a more or less thick gypsum-anhydrite stratum. The greatest probability of penetrating into underground cavities is in those places where the thickness of karst rocks is exposed, comes to the surface, revealing underground passages.
Outcrops of gypsum-anhydrite strata can be found along the banks of the Pinega River and its tributaries (Sotka, Belaya, Siya, Summer Gbach, Portyuga). Outcrops of 43% of known caves in Pinega were found in coastal outcrops. These include the caves of the Pinega rivers (B. Golubinskaya, M. Golubinskaya, 23 caves of the Bereznikovsky district), Sotka (C-1-C-15), the Pinega-Kuloi channel (K-1-K-10), etc.
Very often, karsting rocks are exposed in the sides of dens that go to the river and interrupt the line of coastal cliffs (Tarakaniy, Pershkovsky, Karjala, etc.) or in the sides of blind dens that do not have access directly to the river, located in the interfluve of the Pinega and its tributaries (log Gorodishche , Iron Gates, Dry, Holy Stream, etc.), in which 54% of the caves were found.
The coastal cliffs of lakes, scattered in large numbers throughout the region, can also give a number of outcrops and be the location of the entrances to the caves. So, in the southwestern part of Lake Shchelennoye, at the base of a 20-meter gypsum outcrop, an almost completely filled-in entrance to the cave was found, in which the stream flowing from the lake disappears. Sometimes gypsum outcrops are observed in the sides or at the bottom of numerous karst sinkholes, which in some cases reveal underground cavities (Leningradskaya, Pinezhskaya named after A. Tereshchenko, Gb-2, etc.).
Most often, entrances to underground cavities are located at the base of gypsum outcrops. For flooded caves, the inlet is usually the place where the water flow directly goes underground or appears on the surface. Cave entrances found at the base of gypsum outcrops along river banks and sides of dens are usually covered with scree of gypsum blocks and rubble. In such cases, the entrances to the caves (their number is 58%) are located at the contact of the scree and the bedrock wall, as a result of which the entrance of the caves has a slit-like shape and is hidden behind the scree ridge. In such cases, the boundary between the scree and the main wall of the outcrop was most carefully examined, since most often it was there that a passage into the cavity could be found. In the case of a powerful stream flowing out of an underground cavity or washing away the bedrock bank by a river, the gypsum screes are washed away by water and the entrances open directly at the base of the outcrop. The same arrangement of inlets is found in caves formed by flood waters coming from the river (23 underground cavities of the Bereznikovsky outcrop can serve as an example of such caves) or when the log is flooded with spring waters (Gorodishche log).
The streams flowing in the logs, as shown by a large number of observations (logs of the Holy stream, Gorodishche, Tarakaniy, Golubinsky, etc.), repeatedly change the direction of the flow, moving from one wall of the log to another, going deep under the wall of the outcrop and leaving the former channel, shifting to the side by 10-50 m. Therefore, when observing the bed of a stream passing in the center of the log, one must always take into account that in the past the stream could flow near the sides and form underground passages at the base of the outcrops. An example of underground cavities worked out by a stream, which subsequently left these passages and moved to another place, are the caves found in the logs listed above.
A number of caves were discovered when trying to trace the path of a stream flowing along the bottom of a log and either appearing on the surface or disappearing underground. A section of a dry channel on the surface leading to the side of a valley or ravine indicates an underground channel developed by water. About 60 caves, which are underground sections of streams or rivers flowing on the surface, were found on Pinega (caves of Karjala lairs, Iron gates, Holy stream, etc.). It was possible to penetrate them directly at the place where the stream went underground or at the exit of the watercourse from the ground, as well as through the dips in the ceiling of the underground channel.
If the entrances to the caves were littered, covered with sand and clay, and it was difficult to notice them even up close, then a number of additional factors could serve as indirect signs indicating the possible presence of an entrance to an underground cavity.
A large number of cave entrances (35%) were found in outcrops that looked like a semicircular fresh "circus", formed as a result of the collapse of the vaults of large entrance halls of the cave and interrupting older and overgrown with grass and forest coastal cliffs or sides of the ravine. The lower part of such outcrops is usually covered with talus of collapsed boulders of various shapes and sizes, from the smallest to the largest, reaching 10 m in diameter. At the bases of such circus outcrops are the entrances of the caves Bolshaya Golubinskaya, Gb-2, Gb-1, Refrigerator, etc.
Outcrops with streams flowing from under them or disappearing at the base deserve special attention of the search groups, always leaving hope to penetrate into the underground passage through which the stream flows. By the size of the stream and the flow of water in it, one can indirectly, although very approximately, judge the scale of the cavity in which this stream flows. So, a stream with a flow rate of 0.12 m 3 / sec. (summer 1967) flows out of the largest cave Pinezhya Leningradskaya (3400 m), the flow rates of the streams of the caves Gb-1 and Gb-2 with a length of about 500 m each amount to 0.04 m 3 / s during the low-water period, and a small stream flowing from under an outcrop on the Portyug River, although it indicated the presence of an underground passage, the size of the inlet did not allow a person to penetrate into it.
In the warm season, when approaching the location of the entrance to the cave, zones of sharp cooling and a strong current of cold air from the caves were almost always observed. By the size of such a zone and the strength of the air flow, it was possible to judge the size of the cavity. For example, in the cave Mal. Golubinskaya, the total length of the passages of which reaches 800 m, a wind blows from the inlet at a speed of 2 m/s in summer. and temperature - 2°C; its influence is felt at a distance of up to 50 m. Similar conditions have been recorded at the entrances of many large caves (Leningradskaya, Gb-2, Zimnyaya skazka, Severyanka, etc.). Often, near the inlet and even at some distance from the entrance to the cavity, a negative temperature persists in summer, as evidenced by the presence of ice (caves Severyanka, Mal. Golubinskaya, etc.). Very often in summer and winter in the area of the cave entrance you can observe a light haze (fog). In addition, the presence of an entrance to the cave in winter is evidenced by a frost-covered group of trees and shrubs located nearby, characterized by an abundance of hoarfrost.
The karst nature of the watercourses and the presence of an underground channel are evidenced by the low, even in the hottest season, water temperature in the streams flowing from under the outcrops. For example, the water temperature in the stream of the Leningrad cave in the summer is 2-3°C, while in the river Sotka, where the stream flows, the water temperature is 10-12°C. The low water temperature in them testifies to the karst feeding of the small rivers of the region. So, in the summer, at an air temperature of 20-28 ° C, the water temperature in the river was measured. White - 6°С, Siy - 10°С, Sotke - 12°С. For comparison, we can point out that for r. Pinega is characterized by a water temperature of 16-20°C. Similar data, linking them with the Arctic nature of the relict flora of the Pinezhye, are given by florists Al. and Andr. Fedorovs (1929).
In winter, the air flows of underground cavities have a temperature that is much (by 20-40°C) higher than the outside air temperature. Therefore, coastal polynyas and sections of rivers that do not freeze even in the most severe frosts (near the caves of Leningradskaya, Bol. Golubinskaya, Pekhorovskaya and many others) clearly indicate the location of the entrances to the caves, through which powerful underground streams flow.
Speleologists have always and not without reason paid attention to places with names that indirectly indicate the presence of gypsum outcrops on the surface or mention caves ("clefts"). In particular, on the river Belaya (with white gypsum outcrops along the banks) was found Severyanka cave, in the village. The gap is a small landslide cave, on the lake. Shchelenny - the entrance to the cave, in the Gorodishe ravine - six underground cavities and a large number of grottoes.
When examining karst sinkholes, special attention was paid to sinkholes, on the sides of which traces of water and mud flows are clearly visible. This indicates that the funnel served as an absorbing pore through which one could penetrate into the underground cavity (this is how the Gb-5 cave was discovered).
An important search feature in many cases was the discovery of zones of "shelopnyak" (blocky karst), fields of karst funnels confined to the sides of dens and coastal outcrops. Chains of karst funnels on the surface, as a rule, testify to the probable existence of a large underground cavity, to which these surface karst forms correspond. In particular, many caves of the Golubinsky cave region, the Leningradskaya cave, and others are very clearly traced along the chains of funnels above the cave passages.
A number of cavities found in the Pinezhye were formed along the cracks of the side repulse (for example, many caves of the Kulogorsky and Golubinsky districts). Therefore, when examining coastal outcrops, such cracks and the entire zone along the edge of the outcrops were carefully examined.
The experience of search expeditions shows that the expedient number of a separately working detachment should not exceed 6 people when conducting route exits in groups of 2-3 people. Departure on the expedition is preceded by acquaintance with the literature, maps, aerial photographs of the future search area in order to clarify its geological features, the most probable locations of the caves and the ways of approaching the area under study.
It is very important to determine the correct tactics of the group's actions, depending on the characteristics of the task assigned to it. When examining coastal outcrops along rivers, first of all, the most convenient and shortest route for transferring the group to the far point of the route (the upper reaches of the river) is planned. The transfer is made on foot or by helicopter, then the group descends down the river with an inspection of outcrops and a search for caves. River banks are usually impassable, you have to go along steep screes or through dense thickets and windbreaks, so searching with a backpack over your shoulders is practically impossible. As they move along the river, the group arranges 2-3 base camps with radial search exits in small groups.
A similar scheme of search work is also used when examining vast blind dens located in the interfluves of the main rivers of the region and having no access to these rivers (logs of Karjala, Iron Gates).
If the length of the route along the river is large enough, and the nature of the river allows it, then rafting with a visual inspection and a thorough examination of coastal outcrops in the presence of the indicated search signs is most convenient. The rivers of the Pinego-Kuloi region are most often shallow, with a large number of riffles, shoals, blockages, so rafting on them can only be carried out on small rafts designed for 2-3 people with a load. Often this method of organizing a search fully justifies itself, since the presence of coastal zones of silk grass and the sheer nature of coastal outcrops with steep screes that break right into the water make the walking option of searching unacceptable. With the help of rafting from the upper reaches of the river, all the caves on the Sotka and Siya rivers were discovered.
In some cases, boats with an outboard motor turned out to be an indispensable means of transport. They significantly speed up the route, but, unfortunately, where boats could pass, there were not always outcrops, and where there were outcrops, most often boats could not pass. Undoubtedly, the use of motor boats is most effective when an expedition of a large number is working in a vast area with a single main river, as it allows for the coordination of work and the rapid transfer of small groups as work is completed in certain areas.
When examining the fields of sinkholes, it is first necessary to limit the surveyed area to determine the full scope of work, and then, if possible, carefully comb the limited area, trying to identify patterns in the location of sinkholes. Particular attention should be paid to the elongated chains of funnels extending from the outcrops deep into the massif.
Great help in finding caves can be provided by local residents who know the area well. Especially valuable are the information of hunters, foresters, fish protection workers, who are well aware of the largest outcrops, disappearing rivers and streams, large caves. Local residents, who actively assisted speleologists in finding caves, indicated the entrances to such cavities as the Golubinsky failure, Mal. Golubinskaya, Pinezhskaya them. A. Tereshchenko, Ozerkovskaya, Sompolskaya, caves on the Holy Stream, etc.
Of the 12 search expeditions organized by Leningrad speleologists, 6 were carried out in the summer, since summer is the most favorable time of the year for searching for caves due to the availability of convenient means of transportation, the most suitable conditions for exploring outcrops and rugged karst terrain.
Despite the harsh field conditions in winter and the presence of deep snow cover that hides the inlets of a number of cavities, in winter the possibilities of penetration into the caves increase significantly due to the lowering of the water level and the freezing of stagnant reservoirs. In addition, in winter it becomes possible to use skis and horse-drawn transport when moving along rivers and roads, as well as winter roads that operate only in the cold season.

Film: "Underground silence". Search for treasure in a cave. What can be found in the cave. Search with a metal detector in the Hunting Cave, near the village of Goloustnoye, Irkutsk region. What finds were made in the cave. Author Rudolf Kavchik.
During the study of underground labyrinths, traces of human presence were found Even at the beginning of the last century, the shores of Lake Baikal were densely populated. Buryat uluses and letniki coexisted with Russian fishing villages. Now only the lower crowns and remains of the cellars remain from many of them. The study of these sites of metal detectors, as a rule, did not lead to significant finds.
Meanwhile, the inhabitants of the surrounding villages vied with each other about the exceptional wealth of those who once lived in this territory. Where has wealth gone? The local population has its own version of this.
The dashing times of dispossession of hard-working peasants have reached the distant Siberian corners on the shores of Lake Baikal. Without waiting for people in leather jackets and with Mausers to take away the goods acquired by labor, the peasant loaded two carts early in the morning and set off for the forest. He returned in the evening with empty carts. The neighbors were whispering, but they could only guess what the neighbor could have taken and where. The further fate of the man is unknown. Where he went is now a legend.
Where can you hide two carts, so that the good does not disappear in the damp earth? One logical answer suggests itself: in a cave. There are plenty of them along the shores of Lake Baikal. One of these caves is located in the village of Maloe Goloustnoy. According to the stories of local residents, the children periodically climbed into it and brought either a saber or a rifle. When they brought a live grenade, they decided to blow up the cave.
Now the entrance to it is closed. In the same area there is a cave in which men dissatisfied with the Soviet regime were hiding. Only the exact place where it is located has already been forgotten - the last witnesses have died.
The cave we decided to visit was discovered quite recently, in 2006. Before that, only a limited circle of local hunters knew about it. We decided to explore this cave in search of treasure.
The cave is located between Small Goloustny and Bolshoi Goloustny, about 8 kilometers from the highway, three of which must be passed along a well-trodden path (it is not possible to drive up to the cave by car).
The entrance to the cave is impressive in size - at least drive by car. Upon entering the cave, you immediately find yourself in a huge hall. The light of the headlamps is not enough to illuminate the vaults of the hall. Only the powerful lamp of the on-camera light of our film camera illuminated the cave with an even, all-filling light. We were amazed by the beauty and grand scale of the hall. It is truly large, the size of a basketball court.
The bottom of the cave is covered with a thick layer of fragments of stones. It's hard to walk on them. What is the depth of stone deposits and where is the bottom of the cave? Making a cache in such a heap of stones is not difficult. You can quickly and without a trace hide anything under them. There is no trace left on bare stones: sprinkled with pebbles - and the treasure will be completely hidden from strangers. You can walk over it and not even guess about its existence.
We examine the bottom of the cave with a metal detector, poking the coil into the most accessible places between the stones in the hope that if there is a large amount of metal, we will find it. In such conditions, it is impossible to find a small box or a handful of coins - there is too much depth between the stones, even for a modern metal detector. From the first large hall, two corridors lead deep into the cave. You feel like you're in a head of cheese. Galleries and vertical fireplaces intersect at different levels, getting lost here is easy. The moves are beautiful and tempting, but hardly anyone would hide in such dangerous place their treasures. Here you would not get stuck and not get lost.
The stone floor began to alternate with dense clay, on which there were clear prints of our boots. Strikingly far from the entrance to the cave, a terrible hall opens - its floor is strewn with animal skeletons. Why did they climb into this cave, into the dark hall of skeletons? Nobody killed these animals. They lie in the same positions in which death found them. The microorganisms of the cave destroyed the flesh alien to the underworld, leaving only bare bones.
Bats sleep peacefully on the high vault of the hall of skeletons. All winter they sleep upside down and wake up only with the appearance of the first insects. The temperature in the cave is around zero all year round. So they are not afraid of severe Siberian frosts.
Moving through the cave, I tried to detect at least some human presence: cave paintings, the soot of torches on the vaults of the corridors. The metal detector was silent. We did not find any rock paintings, except for modern coins in one of the halls left by visitors to the cave (probably to return to this beauty, or this is an offering to the underground spirit of the cave).
According to the reports of archaeologists conducting excavations in caves, they find convincing evidence of people's life in caves: stone tools of labor and life, animal bones. But there is a main difference between the work of archaeologists and treasure hunting. Treasure hunters with a metal detector are not interested in such small everyday finds, and it is impossible to find such small household items in the age-old layers of the bottom of the cave with a metal detector. And the metal detector does not react at all to the monuments of the Stone Age, and the treasure hunter will pass them by. This circumstance excludes the destruction of archaeological sites, and if treasure hunters inform scientists about their accidental finds, science will be of great benefit.
A narrow hole, through which we squeezed with difficulty, led to a small room, which was connected to a huge hall. We looked at this hall from the upper gallery. The light from the headlamps was barely enough to illuminate him. Looking at all this splendor, we remembered the heroes of Mark Twain - Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, who, like us, explored the mysterious cave in search of treasure.
After some time, we were blocked by a small, 5-meter ledge with a negative angle of inclination, descending into another hall. It was impossible to go down into it without a rope. Having overcome this obstacle and having passed into the next hall, we heard the lingering signal of the metal detector, which made everyone flinch in surprise. The signal is long and intermittent. Looks like something long underground. Gun or knife? I can't find the object with the pinpointer. And I can't understand why. Lack of pinpointer sensitivity. But he can detect a target at a depth of 10-15 centimeters. What is this? I am guessing. I hope that this is at least a flintlock gun left by hunters. Unfortunately, we were disappointed: someone scattered a handful of aluminum rivets in this place, so the signal was unstable even over a large area.
Moving further along the underworld, we ended up in a small hall, which was given a delicious name - Condensed. Not otherwise, milk rivers with jelly banks once flowed here. It is impossible to resist not to taste and make sure that this is really not condensed milk. After walking a little more along the high corridor, we found ourselves on the threshold of a huge hall, the size of a small football field. Even the powerful on-camera light could not illuminate the entire hall.
A small lake in the deepening of the hall was filled with clean, clear water. And the water is not at all icy, but quite normal, 25 degrees. It seemed so. Examining this hall with a rocky floor, I did not even expect any finds - it was too far from the entrance, at least 40 minutes walk, if you know the way.
The loud signal of the metal detector echoed in this majestic hall. Rather, curiosity guided me than the hope of finding treasure. Rather, it is a bank or batteries left by cavers. But the discovery amazed not only my companions, but also me. It turned out to be a silver kopushka the size of a small coffee spoon, at the end of which was attached a nineteenth-century silver ten; I couldn't tell the exact year. How did she get here? Maybe these are the remains of the treasure of that same man? Who knows…
Our expedition is coming to an end. What other secrets will the hunting cave reveal to future explorers? Perhaps someone will find the peasant's treasure in one of the well-camouflaged secret halls or open another cave, hidden from human eyes until now.

Cave complex "Guarding Spear" - to the north-east of the city of Khabarovsk in the middle reaches of the Kur River, 80 km., From Sanboli station, the caves "Chipmunk", "Dalgiprotrans", "Kvadrat", "Pipe" and " Guard spear." Caves are specially protected natural areas of local importance. When visiting these caves, the gnomes will be able to admire the valley of the Kur River, the vast expanses of mari on the left bank of this river, the valley and mountain-taiga vegetation, almost untouched by man. In the rivers Kur and Ulsa, you can go fishing, especially for spinning and float fishing rods. The caves are accessible to beginner dwarfs without special training.

"The Hobbit"
Once upon a time there lived an ordinary hobbit underground. One beautiful spring day, our old friend Sir Arthur, a dwarf, who had known him from his studies at the Hobbit school in the Shire, came to our hobbit named Leader (although he is small, but he did not get his nickname in vain). Sir Arthur was a great and powerful teacher of ultra distance running. He persuaded the hobbit to go on a campaign for the treasures of the dwarves, captured by the dragon Smaug and hidden somewhere in the caves, near the village. Sanboli. And since the hobbit is not able to undertake such a risky adventure alone, Sir Arthur called 72 gnomes with him, you never know who can come in handy in the search for treasure, and one famous magician SHIELD, who gave Sir Arthur a secret treasure map.
As always, before any trip, it was necessary to thoroughly prepare and collect everything you need, so the magician gave the dwarves a list of things, and also had a conversation with everyone about behavior in the cave:
1. Each gnome must have two reliable sources of light. If there is a malfunction, it is necessary to report this to the senior gnome.
2. Each dwarf must have a helmet that fits securely and comfortably on his head.
3. Visiting the cave alone or without a senior gnome is prohibited.
4. You can not violate a certain order of movement in the cave.
5. Care must be taken in the places indicated by the magician.
6. It is unacceptable to lag behind the group. If you are still behind the group, stay where you are, calmly wait until they return for you.
Just open the door, beyond the threshold
Let me set foot
And hundreds, thousands of roads
They will appear before you.
The long-awaited day came and all the dwarfs participating in the search and their relatives seeing off, gathered at the railway station. At 8-40 they got into a steel cart, which was moving to the city of Khabarovsk. The most important thing for a hobbit, and for a dwarf, of course, is not to miss a second breakfast. On the way, many gnomes were engaged in important matters - they accumulated energy, but in another way they simply slept. The rest with the help of cards found out which of them is smarter. Travel time flew by unnoticed and amounted to 5 hours.
At 13-40 the cart arrived in the village. Sanboli. Three friendly aborigines were already waiting for them there on cargo self-propelled carts of the ZIL type. All the hobbits loaded their shoulder bags into the carts and sat there themselves, except for the magician, of course, he rode in the cab, along with the native.
The logging road passes by a sawmill and a local gas station, and then goes through a swamp. The wagons crossed many crystal clear mountain rivers. On the right side of the road, a wonderful view of the snow-capped peaks of the Dzhaki-Unakhta-Yakbyyan mountain range opened up. A little more and they crossed over. Kur on the old bridge. Not far from the bridge, goblins were fishing with rods. The gnomes did not interfere with them, since goblins are bad jokes, and continued on their way.
16-00 After 2.5 hours we drove the 70th km. Unloaded shoulder bags. This is where the active part of the hike begins. After 3 km they left the hut of Beorn. The owner of the forest was not at home, but the Komsomol dwarfs settled in the hut in the vels, they also longed to find the treasures of the gnomes, probably one of our people blabbed, but decided to spend the night in the hut, as they were very tired, and in the morning continue their journey. An icy stream ran near the hut. The dwarfs made a halt and had a little bite of homemade pies.
The road runs through the hills
Under the shade of the forest
And there will be a ford across the river,
The fire is sometimes nocturnal.
We continued to move along the logging road. Further on at the crossroads, we turned off the road to the left and moved down the stream. We crossed a mountain river through a fallen tree. After a while, we reached the "Log". Then they moved towards the intended goal, guided by the red strings on the trees. The dwarves who were walking first noticed huge trees, it turned out that they were sleeping Ents who had not yet woken up after hibernation. The gnomes did not wake them up. Everything has its time. Huge dips in the soil began to come across in the forest - karst funnels. It feels like a meteor shower has passed in this place.
20:00 Arrive at base. Senior magicians made reconnaissance on the ground, they did not find anyone suspicious. The magician caused the fire with the help of a magic staff, and the dwarves broke up into four camps, each of which was headed by an older dwarf, set up tents and prepared dinner.
Far, far, there is a beautiful forest,
It stands for centuries under the cover of heaven.
A wonderful people lived and lives in it,
In it, everyone lives for a long time in the world.
And every resident here is friends with animals,
Communicates with them, lives and does not grieve.
But what is the name of this people?
Man calls them elves.
9-00 Breakfast first of all. This morning, waking up, the gnomes noticed that hobbits from Amursk and a group of elves from Khabarovsk had camped next to them, and Komsomol dwarfs had also arrived on the velas. Everyone wanted to find the missing treasures of the dwarves.
Near the camp, in the low grass, there are small vampires (ticks) that strive to stick to the place where it tastes better and drink blood. Therefore, after moving through the forest, you need to periodically look around and check your clothes.
It was decided to start searching for artifacts from the Chipmunk cave. The cave lives up to its name. Its narrow, elongated, sloping passages, with their bends, resemble a chipmunk mink. At the very bottom of the cave, a large hall awaited us, where we could straighten up to our full height and rest a little, but there were no treasures there. It's a pity. Before descending into this cave, experienced gnomes immediately put on knee pads and elbow pads to protect their legs and arms from the sharp edges of the rock.
Any dwarf who has never been in a cave before must undergo an initiation before descending into it. For this, horizontal and vertical railings, a butterfly were stretched, and an artificial skinner was built. After the dedication, a solemn part of the event took place, at which all the dedicated caver gnomes were presented with an irreplaceable thing, namely a map of the “Guarding Spear” cave.
It was decided to continue the further search for treasures in the Dalgiprotrans cave. It is located on the river bank at the bottom of the river cliff and has several entrances. The entrance to the cave from the side of the river is a grotto. Behind the grotto is a medium-sized hall with a low ceiling. To the left of the hall is a system of passages of short length. One of these corridors runs next to the second exit. In this area there is a small glacier, which stretches in a narrow tongue along an inclined course into a small dead-end grotto. After examining this cave, the dwarves came to the conclusion that there are no treasures here either. We need to keep searching.
After dinner, in order to get to know each other better, on the main meadow, the older gnomes arranged dating games for everyone.
We will deal with any misfortune
After all, we are not afraid of the beast,
And the enemy is running from you and me
We just step through the door.
Today, the senior dwarfs had a training session on descent and ascent on a rope to the cave "Kvadrat" using caving equipment. Sir Arthur was at the belay.
The entrance to the cave "Square" is located 1.5 meters from the cliff. The whole cave is one relatively large hall with stone-block scree. The floor of the hall is inclined with a depth of 7 to 13 meters. At the top of the hall there is a rhombic, almost square hole measuring 2 by 4 meters. The exit connects the Square with the entrance of the Watching Spear.
The Guarding Spear Cave has a depth of passages of 32 meters, a total length of passages of 1225 meters, difficulty category 2 B, type G. In this cave, we had to explore the following halls: Main, Fairy Tale, Sleeping, Inclined, Steps (Cunning), Second. And also ride on an ice coil, visit Sanka's kondrashka, look at the stone guard, get lost in the labyrinths, go through the stone forest, freeze in the freezer and explore the upper galleries. This cave strikes the imagination with a variety of interesting and wonderful things: blue frost on the walls, stunning ice and stone stalactites and stalagmites, cute bats, frozen rivers and waterfalls, legs in front of a crawling gnome.
And so the exploration of the largest cave began! The dwarves entered the cave through the central entrance. Next came the Second Hall. From here there are two ways: to the right, having fun rolling down the ice coil, you can get to the Main Hall, and if you crawl straight along the passage, you will get to the Fairy Tale Hall. From the Main Hall, you can enter the Sleeping Hall, the stone forest, and the freezer. From the Fairy Tale, going down the rope to the lower level (6 meters), you can get into the Phantom Hall. To get to the stone guard, you need to go through a small skinner from the Phantom Hall.
And so the gnomes cautiously approached the place that leads to the stone guard. They decided to send a hobbit to scout, because they (hobbits) are born scouts, they have fluffy fur on their feet, which allows them to move almost silently. The leader hesitated for a long time and did not immediately dare to look into the skinner. But then curiosity and a thirst for treasure won, and he climbed inside. It turned out that the stone guard is the petrified dragon Smaug. So, treasures must be hidden somewhere nearby. The gnomes for the race, pushing each other, rushed to the stone guard, as there was no one to be afraid of, and carefully, centimeter by centimeter, explored the entire territory adjacent to the guard. But they didn't find anything. “Cheer up, the dragon probably hid them,” said the cheerful hobbit.
After lights out, the hobbit and company played crocodile (association), mafia around the fire and simply sang songs with bagpipes.
Here it is for men -
Knives and axes,
And there's no reason
To avoid playing.
Today it became known that yesterday the magician, examining the caves, accidentally lost a magic ring. In order to find him faster, search work was organized in the form of a fun competition. Four teams of gnomes volunteered to look for the ring. I had to explore all the nearby caves again, since the magician did not remember in which cave, he dropped his ring. The first team was the fastest to find the lost ring and return it to its owner, for a reward (gingerbread).
The road into the distance into the distance
Under the sun or under the moon
And you return home.
You are silent, you look, you look around,
And in the meadow you will see
Familiar from childhood father's house,
Hills, trees and flowers.
We searched all the known caves, climbed all the passable passages, passages, dead ends, grottoes, halls, skinners, but did not find the stolen treasures. One moonlit night, the magician accidentally looked at the map and at that time lunar runes appeared in the corner of the map. The decoding of the runes gave the following: "Warm me with the warmth of a candle, a terrible secret is hidden inside." We carefully warmed the card with a candle and the inscription “Pipe” appeared on the card. What would that mean?
Well, of course, the treasure must be sought in the cave "Pipe". The cave got its name because of the shape of the entrance. The entrance to the cave is a 37 meter vertical shaft starting at the bottom of the funnel. It’s not so easy to go down to the “Pipe”, you need to use caving equipment, but the gnomes were ready for such a turn of events.
The bravest dwarves descended into the "Pipe" in anticipation of the long-awaited treasures, but this year the cave was flooded with water and only a small island remained where they could search. Since the gnomes are unimportant swimmers, they did not dare to go further.
The mystery of the treasure has remained unsolved. Maybe next year, the "Trumpet" will allow you to find the stolen treasures. But on the other hand, all participants in this adventure received a positive charge of vivacity, a lot of impressions and a lot of new experience, as well as met interesting people and just had a great time.
Connor's adventures in Assassin's Creed 3 take place in two major American cities, Boston and New York, as well as beyond, in the Frontier and the Davenport estate. The assassin is helped to overcome huge distances fast travel points, which replaced the "travel stations" from previous installments of the game. Now you do not need to pay for their use, but another problem has appeared - finding and activating. Initially, all fast travel points are hidden from the global map of cities and surrounding lands, which encourages the exploration of unfamiliar territories. Of course, you can do without them, but then, in order to cross the territory, you will have to use the transitions between locations, which are usually located at the edges of the map, and this can be extremely inconvenient when you need to quickly get to a certain area.
All fast travel points in Assassin's Creed 3, they open after visiting the dungeons, that is, they cannot be activated from the outside. Each dungeon has several exits in different areas of the location: in Boston - 10, in New York - 11, in the Frontier - 4, in the Davenport estate - 1. Some of the exits are closed with locks that are to come, others are protected by more advanced mechanisms - magic lanterns(puzzles of Masons) and iron doors. Lanterns are hacked by selecting the right combination of four lenses. As hints when hacking magic lanterns, books (collections of Masonic texts) with descriptions of the device and organization rules are used, which lie on tables or on the floor in the same rooms where the mechanism is installed that protects the exit from the dungeon. When correct combination of lenses is picked up, the door will become available for interaction.
When exploring dungeons, you need to pay attention to rats, walls, manholes, elevators, levers, barrels of gunpowder (to clear passages to inaccessible places); all these tips will help you find the right path and activate fast travel point. Gunpowder barrels are hidden in secluded places, in order to blow them up and clear the way, you need to aim at the barrel (key [F]), and shoot (key [Q]). Do not forget that eagle vision can help you see marks in the form of arrows on the walls. Along the way, also do not forget to light the lamps on the walls of the dungeons for easier orientation in narrow corridors. For the first time, it will be possible to get into the underground part of the cities in the course of the development of the main plot of Assassin's Creed 3.

BASE OF REPTILOIDS IN UNDERGROUND LABYRINTH UNDER AKSAY
Not far from the large city of Rostov-on-Don, or rather, even in its suburbs, for centuries people have discovered strange underground structures: Deep underground tunnels, grottoes, caves of clearly artificial origin.
Underground passages lead to no one knows where for many kilometers. According to enthusiasts, the length of underground passages exceeds a hundred kilometers!!! It is no coincidence that I mentioned enthusiasts. It is only enthusiasts who are engaged in such anomalies - after all, as always, official science and archeology stubbornly refuses to notice such zones. So, according to the estimates of all the same independent experts, these dungeons are at least several thousand years old. Everyone who has ever been there points to their artificial origin. The purpose of creating such a giant underground structure is still unclear. At least a little to reveal the secret of this miracle, I think that the latest knowledge that was described in the book "The Road Home" will help us.
Locals, when it comes to dungeons, are strongly advised not to go there, even on pain of death. Locals experience panic at the mere thought of trying to get into the underground labyrinth. Many people talk about many strange cases of death of people trying to explore the caves. Cattle and other domestic animals have repeatedly disappeared at the entrance to the caves. Often found only gnawed bones!!!
A few years ago, the military tried to use the underground labyrinths for their own purposes. The command of the North Caucasian Military District planned to build a fortified secret control bunker in the catacombs in case of a nuclear war. Rolling up their sleeves, they set to work. Measurements were taken, soil samples were taken, the area was carefully studied. Several groups were organized to study the length of the underground passages. Two soldiers with a walkie-talkie and a flashlight in each of the groups went through cave after cave, labyrinth after labyrinth. Their path was tracked on the surface by radio.
Everything went as well as possible, however, there was no underground fortified bunker for the control of the North Caucasian military district near Aksai. All work was suddenly and abruptly stopped. The military retreated from this accursed place in a panic. The entrance to the dungeon was covered with a thick layer of reinforced concrete. We tried our best - we spent hundreds of tons of selected concrete on it!
An emergency order to stop work came from Moscow after radio contact with one of the groups exploring the dungeons suddenly stopped, and the group did not go to the surface. Rescuers were dispatched to search. After some time, the rescuers managed to find two soldiers, or rather what was left of them - only the lower half of the body of each of them !!! From the waist and below the leg in boots - the rest seemed to have evaporated. The radio was cut in an amazing way into two parts. Moreover, further studies showed that the cut was so filigree that not even a single small crack remained on the electronic circuit boards. A real piece of jewelry!!! By the way, there was no blood either - the tissues of the bodies of the soldiers were slightly melted at the site of the cut. There is work - a laser.
The case was immediately reported to Moscow. An urgent order came from the Ministry of Defense: Stop all work immediately! Remove people and equipment! The entrance to the dungeon is securely sealed with reinforced concrete! Why and why in the order was not explained. 
Each of you, if you want to explore the dungeon, and now you can easily find this reinforced concrete wall with easily distinguishable traces of formwork. The question remains: What is it that so frightened our brave military with their missiles and nuclear power? And why close up the entrance to the old dungeon with tons of concrete?
The military classified information on these events in order not to raise a panic, but the information surfaced as a result of the death of Oleg Burlakov, a researcher of the catacombs. He also died, he was cut in half, but the lower part remained untouched, but only the bones remained from the upper part.
For centuries, local historians have mystified the Aksai catacombs. A couple of hundred years ago, a strange-looking overseas merchant came to Aksai - as a result, it turned out to be a member of the secret Masonic order of the Jesuits. He spent more than one year in Aksay. During his stay, he spent a lot of money looking for something. What he was looking for, no one could understand. Constantly equipped large groups of diggers, carefully studied the area. It became clear to everyone that the foreigner was not looking for a treasure or treasure. The money that he spent during this time on diggers and on all the work would be more than enough for several treasure hoards.
After all, none of the locals wanted to work near those dungeons for any money. The merchant had to recruit and bring new people all the time - after a while people scattered for unknown reasons.
Whether the merchant managed to find what he was looking for remained a mystery behind seven seals. It is only known that according to the ancient books of the Jesuit Masons, which, according to some sources, are at the origins of the Roman Catholic Church, it is written that the area near Aksay is the holy land, somehow connected with their deity, whose cult they worship - namely reptile-Lucifer. For them - to God, and for us - to Satan!!!
This information interested visiting diggers, who decided to take a walk through the dungeon, taking a dog just in case. However, they fell into a trap: having gone several hundred meters deep, the diggers noticed that the walls converged behind them in a couple of steps, and after a few seconds they parted again. Apparently, the mechanism was so ancient that it did not have time to work in time, enabling the diggers to avoid danger. The dog accompanying the diggers whimpered and, having fallen off the leash, rushed back through the maze ... On the way back, the diggers decided to bypass the ill-fated place, but this time they fell into a trap, a hole formed behind them, and then the floor took its original position. What secrets do Aksai's dungeons hide? After all, people had to pay for them with their lives, and no one was supposed to leave this labyrinth, falling into a trap!
Residents of Aksai say that their ancestors, living in the Kobyakovsky settlement, made human sacrifices to a certain Dragon, which crawled out of the ground and ate people. This image can often be found in chronicles, folk tales, among architectural monuments, archeology. However, the legend of the dragon lives on to this day, because just a few decades ago, during the collapse of the floor of the local cannery, workers witnessed a terrifying picture: they noticed below the body of what seemed to be a huge snake, which quickly appeared and disappeared in the failure, a devilish roar was heard, dogs , who were present during the search of the manhole - broke off their seats and, with their tails between their legs, ran headlong away, while the workers looked dumbfounded, could not come to their senses. This passage was walled up, but the dogs decided to return to this place after only a week.
These eyewitness accounts became the basis for the theory that this dragon did not crawl out of the ground, but out of the water. After all, according to the testimony of geological exploration near Aksay, there is a lake at a depth of 40 meters, and a sea at a depth of 250 meters. The underground waters of the Don form another river, in the Don there is a funnel that draws in any objects that have fallen into the strong current of the river. Until now, they cannot find trailers and cars that got into the Don from the old Aksai bridge. Divers who explored the bottom of the lake stated that this funnel pulls objects with great force, even steel safety cables are stretched to the limit.
According to eyewitnesses, UFOs appear over the city quite often, they seem to emerge from the ground, hang in the air and dive underground again. Once a translucent UFO floated over the city and humanoid figures were visible. One UFO blinded the sleeping Aksai with rays of light, when these rays reached the warships on the banks of the Don, the military attempted to attack the night guest and fired at him with guns, but this did not bring any visible result. The UFO fled the scene and dived somewhere underground. Another case is described by many eyewitnesses: three spherical UFOs were spinning in the sky of the old Aksai bridge. The outgoing light was so bright that it began to interfere with traffic on the freeway, dozens of drivers were fascinated by this spectacle. The arriving police squad could not budge the drivers, so they had to call for help from Aksai.
Underground network of tunnels piercing the Earth
There are many interconnected caves and artificial underground cavities in the Middle East, India, China, Iran, Afghanistan, Europe, the USA, Russia and many countries.
120 km from Saratov, in the area of the Medveditskaya ridge, the Kosmopoisk expedition led by Ph.D. Vadim Chernobrov in 1997 discovered and in subsequent years mapped an extensive system of tunnels, surveyed for tens of kilometers. The tunnels have a circular or oval cross-section with a diameter of 7 to 20 m and are located at a depth of 6 to 30 m from the surface. As they approach the Medveditskaya ridge, their diameter increases from 20 to 35 m, then - 80 m, and already at the very hill the diameter of the cavities reaches 120 m, turning under the mountain into a huge hall.
Judging by the numerous publications in newspapers, magazines and the Internet, ball lightning is often observed in the area of the Medveditskaya ridge (in terms of the number of observed ball lightning, it ranks second in the world) and UFOs, which sometimes disappear underground, which has long attracted the attention of ufologists. Members of the Kosmopoisk expedition hypothesized that the ridge is a "crossroads" where underground roads converge in many directions. On them you can even get to Novaya Zemlya and the North American continent.
In the article “Tunnels of Disappeared Civilizations”, E. Vorobyov said that the Marble Cave in the Chatyr-Dag mountain range, located at an altitude of 900 m above sea level, was formed on the site of a tunnel about 20 m in diameter with perfectly even walls, going deep into the mountain range with slope towards the sea. The walls of this tunnel are well preserved in places and do not have traces of erosion activity from flowing waters - karst caverns. The author believes that the tunnel existed before the beginning of the Oligocene, that is, its age is at least 34 million years!
The newspaper "Astrakhanskiye Izvestia" *** reported on the existence in the Krasnodar Territory near Gelendzhik of a vertical shaft with a diameter of about 1.5 m and a depth of more than 100 m with even, as if melted, walls - stronger than cast-iron tubings in the metro . Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences Sergey Polyakov from Moscow State University found that the microstructure of the soil in the section of the mine wall was damaged as a result of physical impact by only 1-1.5 mm. Based on his conclusion and direct observations, it was concluded that the high bonding properties of the walls are most likely the result of simultaneous thermal and mechanical effects when using some unknown high technology.
According to the same E. Vorobyov, in 1950, by a secret decree of the Council of Ministers of the USSR, it was decided to build a tunnel through the Tatar Strait in order to connect the mainland with Sakhalin by rail. Over time, the secrecy was removed and the doctor of physical and mechanical sciences L. S. Berman, who worked there at that time, told in 1991 in her memoirs addressed to the Voronezh branch of Memorial that the builders were not so much re-laying as restoring the existing tunnel, built in ancient times, extremely competently, taking into account the geological features of the bottom of the strait.
The same ancient tunnels, judging by the publications, radio and television programs of previous years, were found by the builders of modern metro tunnels and other underground communications in Moscow, Kyiv and other cities. This suggests that, along with metro tunnels, rivers hidden in concrete boxes, sewerage and drainage systems, and the latest, equipped with the latest technology, “autonomous underground cities” with power plants, there are also numerous underground communications of earlier eras under them *** . They form a layered, intricately intertwined system of countless underground passages and chambers, and the oldest structures are deeper than the metro line and probably extend far beyond the city limits. There is evidence that on the territory of Ancient Russia there were underground galleries hundreds of kilometers long, connecting the largest cities of the country. Entering them, for example, in Kyiv, it was possible to get off in Chernigov (120 km), Lyubech (130 km) and even Smolensk (over 450 km).
And not a word is said about all these grandiose underground structures in any reference book. There are no published maps of them, no editions dedicated to them. And all because in all countries the location of underground utilities is a state secret, and information about them can be obtained mainly only from diggers who study them unofficially.
Of the underground utilities found in other countries, it should be noted the tunnel discovered on Mount Babia (height 1725 m) in the Tatra-Beskydy mountain range, located on the border of Poland and Slovakia. UFO sightings have also occurred quite often in this place. Polish ufologist Robert Lesniakiewicz, who is studying this anomalous zone, in search of information about the events that took place here in the past, contacted another Polish specialist in this kind of problems, Dr. Jan Payonk, a university professor in the New Zealand city of Dunedin.
Professor Payonk wrote to Lesnyakevich that in the mid-1960s, when he was a teenager and a high school senior, he heard this story from an elderly man named Vincent:
« Many years ago, my father said that the time had come for me to learn the secret that the inhabitants of our area have long passed from father to son. And this secret is a hidden entrance to the dungeon. And he also told me to memorize the road well, because he would show it to me only once.
After that, we silently walked on. When we approached the foot of Babia Gora from the Slovak side, my father stopped again and pointed out to me a small rock protruding from the mountain slope at an altitude of about 600 meters ...
When we leaned on the rock together, it suddenly trembled and unexpectedly easily moved to the side. An opening was opened into which a cart could freely enter along with a horse harnessed to it ...
A tunnel opened up in front of us, going down rather steeply. My father moved forward, I followed him, stunned by what had happened. The tunnel, similar in cross section to a slightly flattened circle, was straight as an arrow, and so wide and high that a whole train could easily fit in it. The smooth and shiny surface of the walls and floor seemed to be covered with glass, but when we walked, our feet did not slip, and steps were almost inaudible. Looking closely, I noticed deep scratches in many places on the floor and walls. It was completely dry inside.
Our long journey along the inclined tunnel continued until it led to a spacious hall, similar to the inside of a huge barrel. Several more tunnels converged in it, some of them were triangular in cross section, others were rounded.
... the father spoke again:
- Through the tunnels that diverge from here, you can get to different countries and different continents. The one on the left leads to Germany, then to England, and on to the American continent. The right tunnel stretches to Russia, to the Caucasus, then to China and Japan, and from there to America, where it connects with the left one. You can also get to America through other tunnels laid under the Earth's poles - North and South. Along the way of each tunnel there are "nodal stations" like the one we are currently in. So, without knowing the exact route, it is easy to get lost in them ...
His father's story was interrupted by a distant sound that was both a low rumble and a metallic clang. This is the sound a heavily loaded train makes when it starts off or brakes sharply ...
- The tunnels that you saw, - the father continued his story, - were built not by people, butpowerful creatures living underground. These are their roads for moving from one end of the underworld to the other. And they move toflying fire engines. If we were in the way of such a machine, we would burn alive. Fortunately, the sound in the tunnel can be heard at a great distance, and we had enough time to avoid such an encounter. Well, besides, these creatures live in another part of their world, and rarely appear in our area ... ".
Another mysterious place similar to the Medveditskaya ridge, Mount Babiu, Nevado de Cachi, and, perhaps, Shambhala is Mount Shasta, 4317 m high, in the Cascade Mountains in northern California. In the Shasta area, UFOs are often observed ...
English traveler and explorer Percy Fawcett, who worked for many years in South America and repeatedly visited North America, mentioned the long tunnels located near the volcanoes Popocatepetl and Inlaquatl in Mexico ... and in the region of Mount Shasta. From local residents, he heard stories about tall, golden-haired people who supposedly inhabit the dungeons. The Indians believed that these were the descendants of people who had descended from heaven in ancient times, unable to adapt to life on the surface and gone into underground caves ...
Some people even managed to see the mysterious underground empire.
Andrew Thomas in his book "Shambhala - an oasis of light" also wrote that in the mountains of California there are underground passages, straight as arrows, leading to the state of New Mexico.
Maxim Yablokov in the book "Aliens" They are already here !!! told about one interesting fact. Conducted underground nuclear tests at a test site in Nevada (USA) led to very curious consequences. After 2 hours, at one of the military bases in Canada, located at a distance of 2000 km from the test site, a radiation level was recorded that was 20 times higher than normal. It turned out that next to the Canadian base there was a huge cave, which is part of a huge system of caves and tunnels of the continent ...
UNDERGROUND REPTOID CIVILIZATION
We have already written about reptoids - a race of intelligent lizards that arose simultaneously, and most likely before humans. The publication wrote that the lizards left the stage, giving way to a man. We are correcting: there are good reasons to believe that the lizards, having left the surface of the planet to man, went deep into the Earth.
Land unknown to us
Despite all the technological advances, a person still cannot say that he knows the planet like his apartment. There are places where the scientist's foot has not set foot yet. In other corners, if he appeared, it was only to write on the rock “I was here” and leave this area in pristine purity for another 200-300 years.
Studying the oceans, a person has descended to a depth of 11,000 m, but is in absolute ignorance of what is deeper than 200-300 m. (To visit does not mean to study) As for the natural voids of the Earth, here a person has passed no further than the “hallway” and even has no idea how many rooms there are in the underground “apartment” and what size they are. He only knows "many" and "very large".
Endless underground labyrinths
There are caves in absolutely all parts of the world, on all continents, up to Antarctica. Underground corridors intertwine into endless labyrinth tunnels. Crawling through these galleries for 40-50 km without reaching the end of the tunnel is quite a common thing for cavers, not worth mentioning. There are caves 100, 200, 300 km long! Mamontov - 627 km. And none of the caves is considered to be fully explored.
Scientist Andrei Timoshevsky (better known as Andrew Thomas), who studied Tibet and the Himalayas for a long time, wrote that the monks led him into tunnels of infinite length, through which, according to them, one could go to the center of the Earth.
After an underground nuclear explosion at the Nevada test site in the caves of Canada, located at a distance of more than 2,000 km, the radiation level jumped 20 times. American speleologists are sure that all the caves of the North American continent communicate with each other.
Russian researcher Pavel Miroshnichenko believes that there is a network of global underground voids, stretching from the Crimea through the Caucasus to the Volgograd region.
In fact, we have another continent - underground. Isn't he inhabited by anyone?
masters of the underworld
Our ancestors did not think so. They were just sure of the exact opposite. Traditions and legends about intelligent lizards living in underground labyrinths are among the peoples of Australia, among North American Indians, among the same Tibetan monks, Hindus, inhabitants of the Urals and Rostov region Southern Federal District. Is it a coincidence?
Most likely, as a result of climate change, life for pangolins on the surface of the Earth has become impossible. If the unreasonable creatures remained on the surface and died, the reptoids went underground, where there is water, there are no deadly temperature drops, and the deeper it is, the higher it is due to volcanic activity.
Leaving the surface of the planet to man, they took possession of its underground part. Undoubtedly, someday there will be a long-awaited meeting. And most likely it will happen in South America. It was here that the wall dividing the two civilizations thinned to a thin partition.
Chinkanasy
Jesuit priests also wrote about the presence in South America huge amount underground caves connected together. The Indians called them "chinkanas". The Spaniards believed that the Chinkanas created the Incas for military purposes: for an early retreat or a covert attack. The Indians assured that they had nothing to do with the dungeons, they were created by snake people who live there and really dislike strangers.
The Europeans did not believe, in their opinion, these "horror stories" were intended to prevent the valiant settlers from reaching the gold hidden by the Incas in underground caches. Therefore, there were a lot of attempts to explore the Chinkanas of Peru, Bolivia, Chile and Ecuador.
Expeditions do not return
Most adventurers who set off on a perilous journey through the underground labyrinths did not return back. Rare lucky ones came without gold and talked about meetings with people covered with scales and huge eyes, but no one believed them. The authorities, who absolutely did not need the state of emergency with the missing "tourists", filled up and covered up all known entrances and exits.
The Chinkanas and scientists also investigated. In the 1920s, several Peruvian expeditions disappeared in the Peruvian chinkanas. In 1952, a joint American-French group went underground. The scientists planned to return in 5 days. The only surviving member of the expedition, Philippe Lamontier, came to the surface after 15 days, slightly damaged in his mind.
What in his incoherent stories about endless labyrinths and lizards walking on two legs that killed everyone else was the former truth, and what was the fruit of a sick imagination, could not be established. The Frenchman died a few days later of the bubonic plague. Where did he find the plague in the dungeon?
Reptoids out?
Who lives there, in the dungeon? Exploration of the caves, including the mysterious chankanas, continues. Returning members of the expeditions are sure that creatures with intelligence live in the depths of the caves. The stairs and steps they found in the dungeons, the halls, the floors of which are paved with slabs, the kilometer-long gutters hollowed out in the walls, leave no other options. And the deeper and further the researchers go, the more often they come across all sorts of “surprises”.
Scientists in France, England, the USA and Russia have repeatedly recorded powerful streams of electromagnetic waves, the source of which is located in the depths of the Earth. Their nature is unclear.
EXTRACT FROM “INTERVIEW WITH REPTILOID LACERT”
Lacerta: When I talk about our underground home, I'm talking about large cave systems. The caves you have discovered close to the surface are tiny compared to real caves and huge caves deep in the ground (between 2,000 and 8,000 of your meters, but connected by many hidden tunnels to the surface or to surfaces in the vicinity of the caves). And we live in large and developed cities and colonies inside such caves.
The main sites of our caves are Antarctica, Inner Asia, North America and Australia. When I talk about artificial sunlight in our cities, I don't mean the real sun, but the various technological light sources that illuminate caves and tunnels.
There are special cave areas and strong UV light tunnels in every city and we use them to heat our blood. In addition, we also have some areas of sunny places on the surface in remote areas, especially in America and Australia.
Question: Where can we find such surfaces - near the entrance to your world?
Answer: Do you really think that I will give you their exact location? If you want to find such an entrance, you must look for it (but I would advise you not to.) When I arrived on the surface four days ago, I used the entrance about 300 kilometers north of here, close to a large lake, but I doubt that you might find it (there are only a few occurrences in this part of the world - more - much more in the north and east.)
As a little tip: if you're in a narrow cave or tunnel or even something that looks like an artificial shaft, and the deeper you go, the smoother the walls become; and if you feel unusual warm air rushing in from the depths, or if you hear the sound of rushing air in a ventilation or lift shaft, and find a special kind of artificial thing;
also - if you see a wall with a door made of gray metal somewhere in a cave - you could try to open that door (but I doubt it); or, you got underground into an ordinary-looking technical room with ventilation systems and lifts in depth - then this is - probably - the entrance to our world;
if you have reached this place, you should know that we have now located you and are aware of your presence, you are already in big trouble. If you have entered the round room, then you should look for one of the two reptilian symbols on the walls. If there are no symbols or there are other symbols, then you are probably in more trouble than you think, because not every underground structure belongs to our species.
Some new tunnel systems are being used by alien races (including hostile races). My general advice, if you find yourself in a strange underground structure for you: run as fast as you can.
